Almería is the capital of the province of Almería in Spain. It is located in southeastern Spain on the Mediterranean Sea and all its area is an important Mediterranean resort.

Almería has an international airport, named Almería International Airport.

Almería has the largest naturist beach in Europe (also surrounded by naturist accommodations) called El Playazo despite current attempts to reduce the naturist extent of it.

A great part of Almería's economy is based on Agriculture, which is located mainly in the west part of the region. There we can find a sea of plastics, which are in fact green houses which produce tons of fruit and vegetables, more than 70% of the product is exported to the rest of Europe.

Almería is the driest region in Europe as well as one of the warmest with an average annual temperature of 19 degrees. Due to its arid landscape, numerous spaghetti westerns were filmed in Almería. According to Christopher Frayling, the author of 'Once Upon A Time in Italy': The Films of Sergio Leone,' some of the sets are still there. These sets are located in the desert of Tabernas. One of Almería's most famous natural spots is the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park. This park is of volcanic origin, and is the largest and most ecologically significant marine-terrestrial space in the European Western Mediterranean Sea. With one of the most beautiful and ecologically rich coasts of the western Mediterranean and an area of 380 square kilometres it is one of Spain’s natural jewels. The Cabo de Gata Natural Park runs through the municipal areas of Níjar, Almería and Carboneras. Its villages, previously dedicated to fishing, have become tourism spots for those interested in nature. One of the greatest drawcards of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park is its beaches. You will find solitary coves, long beaches, naturist beaches and coves, or maybe a solitary corner accessible only by sea or or by means of a wonderful excursion.
